Welcome to the Future
NC State ECE
Come Visit!
Join us for a tour, check out our facilities, and meet some of our amazing students.
Last week, we launched the new Vital Ventures Summer Camp as part of NC State’s Engineering Place residential programs for high school students. Campers explored personalized health monitoring through hands-on work with sensors and circuits, guided by faculty and students in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
The next session begins July 13. Students will present their projects at a showcase on July 18 at 10 a.m. in the EB2 west atrium. Visitors are welcome.

How do you track a turtle? 🐢 With innovation, custom PCBs and a team of ECE seniors.
For their Senior Design project, these students partnered with NC State’s College of Natural Resources to build a real-time tracking system that monitors turtle movement in the wild. The goal: enhance the quality and consistency of field data for conservation research.
Senior Design is the capstone experience for College of Engineering students — a year-long journey through the full design development cycle, solving real-world problems that make a difference.

Congratulations to Assistant Professor Vijay K. Shah on receiving an NSF CAREER Award — one of the National Science Foundation’s most prestigious honors for early-career faculty.
Shah’s project, O-DSM: An Open Dynamic Spectrum Management Framework for Enhanced 6G Coexistence, is reimagining how the U.S. manages the radio frequency spectrum — a shared natural resource essential to 5G, 6G and future wireless technologies.
His work will develop intelligent, AI-native frameworks for real-time, secure spectrum sharing while mentoring the next generation of wireless researchers through the NextG Wireless Lab.
A proud moment for the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the future of connectivity.
